It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Dear fellow trans people, you know as well as I. This is still true, on both sides of the Atlantic. Learn the lessons of Act Up, it's fine in time.

NGL Neil and Gemma are amazing people, they do not have to support us, they gain nothing (except maybe exposure to my shit jokes) from it. We (trans ppl) have no choice, they do. Take the opportunity today to thank your local cis ally.

In the off chance they have me back on ..

The British Dragonfly Society has found that the number of species of dragonflies and damselflies classed as endangered has risen to eight.

The Society points out that dragonflies and damselflies are indicators of freshwater habitat health, and says: "Changes in their populations can tell us much about the state of our wetlands and the wider environment."

Sarah isn't being trafficked or trying to leave sex work. She's been assaulted by a violent client who stole her money and threatened to expose her to her family. She wants him stopped before he hurts someone else. But Sarah has been arrested for prostitution before.

When a sex worker experiences violence, the hardest part of asking for help may be deciding whom to trust. A Woman Named Sarah- Sarah knows about the National Human Trafficking Hotline. She's heard about helping victims escape exploitation Now she's wondering whether the hotline is meant for her

I deal with neo-Nazis regularly, but it's ordinary people who've told me 'the problem with eugenics is the Nazis gave it a bad name'. Even if people could recognise eugenics in front of them, I'm not sure they'd care. 10/

And it works, because I have a list of dead friends and colleagues and know how vast the real list is and every time we talk about it someone starts with 'yeah, but my neighbour isn't really disabled....' 9/

The government strips away more support every year until our lives become unbearable and the only assistance they're interested in introducing is euthanasia. They get their think tanks and pet journalists to write ever more obvious hit pieces. 8/

As the bodies piled up in their tens of thousands, there has never been a march for us more than a small band of disabled people screaming into the void. No mass movement supports us. No multi-city street protests. We just die, and people say 'now they're free' or that it's one less scrounger. 7/

Will people recognise eugenics when it's right in front of them? They don't recognise it being spoken in our parliament. They don't recognise it in every paper now. 6/

Until a few weeks ago, it was the work of mine with furthest reach. It got picked up by a newspaper. Eleven years later, we know the extent of how many disabled people have died at the hands of our government and... nothing. 5/

And it was a lot about how the same language and imagery can be found in any newspaper and a lot of government briefings. And how they didn't need to round us up for them to be killing us. 4/

They cast disabled people as either so pitiable death was a kindness, or as villainous, worthless 'useless eaters' paid for by good, hardworking families. A campaign so successful that, when disabled people were killed, nobody really raised a fuss. 3/

It was a little about what happened, because most people don't know gas chambers and the shower ruse were invented to exterminate disabled people. It was more about the ten-year propaganda campaign waged before it. 2/

So. The Experiment on Channel 4. Will ordinary members of the public recognise Nazi eugenics as it applies to disabled people when it's right in front of them? 11 years ago I wrote about Aktion T4. 1/

I don’t get haters leaving comments about my genitals as often as you might think. But they’ve been on the uptick lately for some reason.

Good read.

Tonia Antoniazzi, the 5G conspiracy theorist MP, is making me think about who would go in the woowoo MP Hall of Fame. Neale Hanvey, the astral projecting MP has got to get a place. Who else?

Just TERF novelists on Twitter being perfectly normal. Amanda once claimed my family would have “transed me” growing up and Lissa takes time out of her busy day to write tweets solely to make fun of non-binary people. Perfectly normal, human, empathetic behaviors.
